Tommy Sheridan appeal: The trio he's relying on

FATIMA Uygun is a Glasgow-based community and political activist.

The 42-year-old was married to the Scottish folk singer Alistair Hulett who died last year.

She was heavily involved in a campaign to try to keep open Govanhill baths in Glasgow's Southside.

Ms Uygun was also involved in writing a study of sectarianism funded with public money and has been part of anti-racist campaigns.

Cabbie who used to run a bakery

MARK Gilroy works as a taxi driver in Cumnock, but previously ran a bakery from the 1980s until several years ago.

Mr Gilroy got involved in left-wing politics in about 2001, during Tommy Sheridan's early years as an MSP, and soon became an ally of the charismatic left-winger.

He was a member of the Scottish Socialist Party and Solidarity but is no longer involved with either organisation.
